FEMINISM & DEGROWTH

Foundational Ethos

Feminist approaches have long challenged the invisibility of care labour, the gendered distribution of resources, and the violence embedded in extractive economies. Degrowth extends this critique by questioning the cultural and technological infrastructures that normalise endless expansion at ecological and social cost. Together, feminism and degrowth offer a shared ethical framework that values sufficiency over excess, reciprocity over exploitation, and plurality over universality.

This project understands knowledge production as collective, embodied, and situated. We prioritise dialogue across disciplines and geographies, and we remain attentive to Indigenous, Global South, and marginalised perspectives that have historically articulated alternatives to growth long before the term “degrowth” entered academic discourse.

The Founders

Feminism & Degrowth was founded by Jill Scott, Rewa Wright, and Clarissa Ribeiro—three artist-researchers whose practices span media art, ecological research, feminist theory, and experimental pedagogy.

Across their respective practices, the founders share a commitment to practice-led research, collaborative knowledge-making, and the development of ethical frameworks for working with emerging technologies. Their work consistently challenges anthropocentric authorship, foregrounds more-than-human agency, and explores how artistic practice can function as a site of resistance, care, and re-imagination.

What We Do

Feminism & Degrowth operates as a discursive and practical platform. It supports:

• Critical writing and research on feminism, degrowth, ecology, and technology
• Artistic projects and curatorial experiments that challenge extractive logics
• Workshops, conversations, and public programs that foster collective learning
• Transdisciplinary exchange between artists, researchers, activists, and communities

Rather than offering fixed solutions, the platform invites ongoing inquiry. It is conceived as an evolving constellation of voices, practices, and propositions—responsive to local contexts while remaining connected through shared ethical commitments.

An Invitation

This website is an invitation to slow down, to think otherwise, and to imagine futures not organised around domination or accumulation. Feminism & Degrowth asks how we might live, make, and care differently—together—within the limits of a fragile and entangled world.
